Beachgoers: Be courteous and use lotion, not spray, sunscreen

Summer is in full swing at the beach, and once again the spray on sunscreen is, too. Please, people: The spray you think is going on your body is going onto and into everyone around you … into our mouths, eyes and noses. Please use lotions instead. That’s the only way that you’ll be sure it’s really getting onto you and not the rest of us. Thank you.
